The family of murdered teenager Amar Aslam today paid an emotional tribute to him at the place where he died.

Amar’s sister, Samreen Aslam, wept as she told reporters how her “loving and special” brother had just got his driving licence two days before he was found dead in Crow Nest Park, Dewsbury, on Sunday.

The family also said Amar’s mother, Reanna Aslam, was “heartbroken” by his death and was considering leaving the country.

Ms Aslam, her younger sister Zarieh Aslam and cousin Raja Majid laid a large bouquet of flowers in the walled garden where Amar was found at the weekend.

Reading out a statement, Ms Aslam described how her brother loved music and cars and was saving his pocket money to buy himself a vehicle.

She said he was “excited and so happy” about getting his licence.

She added: “Amar was a loving and special brother. He was the baby of the family, he was very close to his sisters and his mother. “He was so caring and sensitive, he would always look after us like a mature older brother.”
